Jang Dong-gun tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2022 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (November 23) that Jang is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Korean actor-singer has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Jang Burger” chain) in Seoul, a Football Team (the “Seoul Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjang - South Korea), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Dong-gun) and a fashion line called “Jang Dong-gun Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Dong-gun fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
